A magnifying glass to see small molecules

María Fernanda Centeno

This ingenious invention, that was fabricated by the end of 2018, to see the world of molecules who let us see it in Little in three dimensions crystals to search the structure of small particules like hormones or drugs.

This new technology let us determine the internal structure of this molecules, not in weeks or even days, but they can do it in minutes, it's easier and faster.

The technique used for this, is to shoot electron beams in laminar crystals through a hole formed by a lump with the size of an atom and with a reduced light to see the elemements and the reaction of these molecules.

The result, was a new posibility to see the light interaction , incluiding the posibility that the molecules experience new kinds of chemical reactions that it´s good because permit the development of new sensors of chemical reactions doing by the light, and they help to fabricate new drugs or to discover new elements in the field of science. And, also the scientifics can see a Little part the movement of the atom in real time

That was one of the most ingenious inventions of 2018, and everyday it's evoling for the benefit of the human being and their heath and progress.
